We are in the process of planning the renewed Arts and Music Festival. We are dusting off the 16 year tradition paused in 2019.... The event is traditionally scheduled on a September Saturday, from 7:30 am - 10:30 PM. We are looking for individuals to help lead the planning and fundraising efforts for the event. Apply here at volunteer match if you are interested in joining some 6 others on the planning team. While a model for the event exists, it is only a model. The planning team has grand leeway in creating a festival that reflects today and the future. While it is a program of the Foundation, the planning team operates as a separate volunteer team to shape the event(s). To learn more about the Festival opportunities visit https://www.gvcfoundation.org/golden-valley-arts-music-festival. To learn more about the foundation begin at our website - www.gvcfoundation.org For the event we need people of all ages to volunteer staffing and participating! We need adults (young and old) to help with set up and clean up of the event, adults or families to help with the children's activities, adults to help with beer/wine ticket sale and GV merchandise sales. Many hands are appreciated! Thank you!
